English country garden

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow in an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know and those I miss you'll surely pardon.
Daffodil, heart's ease and flox,
meadowsweet and lady's smocks,
gentian, lupine and tall hollihocks.
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots in an English country garden.

How many insects come here and go through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know and those I miss you'll surely pardon.
Fireflies and moths and bees,
spiders climbing in the trees,
butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze.
There are snakes, ants that sting and creeping things in an English country garden.

How many songbirds fly to and fro through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know and those I miss you'll surely pardon.
Bobolink, cuckoo and quail,
tanager and cardinal,
bluebird, lark, thrush and nightingale.
There is joy in the spring when the birds begin to sing in an English country garden.
